Albania's energy ministry says three Chinese miners have been retrieved dead from a mine in the north of the country, apparently killed in a hydrogen gas explosion a week ago.

Rescue teams found the three bodies more than 1,000 meters deep in a chromium mine in Bulqiza, 125 kilometers north of the capital, Tirana, according to a spokesman.

The hydrogen gas explosion on Feb. 4 also injured another miner of the Wenzhou Corporation of Mining Tunnel Design, a subcontractor for the Albanian Chrome company. The company was trying to deepen the mine and extend its production life by 25 years.
